Being a lifeguard for five years, I have prevented accidents through proactive lifeguarding techniques and maintaining a watchful eye on swimmers. When watching swimmers there also is other safety jobs that need to be managed. It is important to watch for any potential hazard in the surrounding areas and tend to any safety issues, that could potentially provide harm to patrons. Enforcing pool rules and regulations while ensuring the safety of all patrons at the facility is very vital, enabling our customers to have a fun time while visiting our pool! We also make sure to review over safety and rescue practices, making sure that we are able to provide the best care possible in any situation.

As a Teacher Assistant, I have made a school website, which offers fundraisers and organizations on it. I have helped with the student yearbook and simpler jobs such as making copies, grading and stapling papers. . While working, I am promoting a positive learning environment by effectively managing any task given to me. I supported the teacher in monitoring students during lunch periods, recess, and other non-instructional times to maintain safety and orderliness.

Working in a daycare has been a very tough, but manageable job. With kids ranging from the ages of 0- 5 and can be as many as 18 kids a day, maintaining a clean, neat and hazard-free areas to protect kids and personnel is very important. I also provide lunchtime assistance to monitor children, assist with eating and serve food. Then, sanitizing dishes, tabletops, toys, and frequently touched surfaces to prevent spreading of germs. Frequently changing diapers and checking on their safety is a non-stop responsibility. I have a very large amount of love for children, so I overall loved this job and will assist at any time, when needed.
